    New to me donor 6.2L engine

    Ah HAHAHAH, Gasp Choke, Ah HAHAHA!!! I missed this years ago. 🤪 HX40II and ATT with a spool valve in hot AZ heat on a 6.2 longblock... NA small precups and plain non-coated pistons. I ran synthetic engine oil: Otherwise lack of piston coating WILL ruin the engine oil in 1000 miles. (Out of...

    2007 ram 3500 with 5.9 Cummins a/c won't work.

    Did you replace the HVAC blend doors? Is the fan clutch less than 5 years old and a MOPAR unit? (Not iffy aftermarket or parts store trouble.) Is the compressor turning? If so are the A/C lines at the firewall both getting cold? If you don't have voltage to the compressor coil, not turning...

    Battery draw

    Common problems: Brake light switch stuck "on". It's not that? Then... Glove box light on. Dome lights on from bad switch. Underhood light. Aftermarket radio gone bad. Or wiring problem. Trailer Brake controller. Horn switch stuck on (relay taking power) and burnt out the horn. And an oddball...

    Drain back for Pro-Vent

    Bad Idea. Good way to experience a diesel engine runaway when the oil flows backwards from the drain into the intake! The turbo flows a lot of oil. Little intake vacuum and you have a flooded Pro-Vent... Take an example from Cummins who uses a separate drain into the block/oil pan from the oil...

    Intermittent blue smoke and low power at highway speed

    Pull the oil fill cap. Start engine. If it huffing or just steady blowby? Fix the fuel leaks. Again WITH FEELING Fix The Fuel Leaks! It's the #1 troubleshooting step in the GM service manuals for a reason. Fuel leaks allow air into the fuel system. Air will compress where fuel will not...

    Transmission Input Seals, the Bad, the Good and the Best

    The OEM TC clutch is weak: You don't want to override it as is/was a popular mode to manually lock the TC on. The more common failure mode is the TCC apply piston in the valve body wears out the bore and the TC slips from that. Changing the transmission oil often helps these components live...

    1993 4l80

    Have you pulled codes? Note the speed sensor (input and output speed) wires like to have the insulation flake off and short out. Inspect the wire from the speed sensor plug where it joins the main harness for shorting. I have seen two 1993's do this both 6.5TD and a 454.

    90 degree gear drive wear

    The cam gear is replaceable as part of a big job. The IP gear is able to be removed from the pump, but, it's the part I can't get new. The gears are the only item needing repair. My question is coating a new cam gear going to do any good with the existing IP gear wear?

    90 degree gear drive wear

    I am working on a 12 DJC Onan 12KW generator and have severe wear on the gear drive for the injection pump. The camshaft gear that drives the pump is available and replaceable, but, the injection pump gear is unobtainium. I bought a parts set just for the injection pump, but, it's starting to...

    1993 4l80

    Engine braking with this transmission: FORGET ABOUT IT!!! Yes, it only brakes in manual 3rd with the weakest afterthought small clutch pack there is. I have burned out several although that clutch pack being fried doesn't affect going forward. Because these transmissions snap off the input shaft...

    Out of luck

    I just happen to have one. Check the numbers to make sure they will work. $100 plus the ride. Worked when I parted out the truck due to another blown engine. Private message me if interested.

    DB2 Throttle Pedal Resistance

    Can you see any wear in the pedal causing this? Removing the add on carpet help? The fix you have concerns me as there are many recalls on vehicles for the floormat jamming the throttle open. I recall the OEM floormat for these years was pretty thin rubber. It doesn't hurt to go over a...

    DB2 Throttle Pedal Resistance

    Don't Do Drugs, Son! All our other "Drive By Wire" vehicles are NUMB. Some Drugs make you NUMB just like the lack of any feel on electronic throttles. This here 1993 only lacks "Feel" from a shift cable going to the transmission so you can't feel the edge of when it's going to downshift. You...

    1995 K1500 Burb "Big Momma"

    Make sure your tach is still accurate as GM's infinite stupidity used a larger diameter pulley on a lower RPM diesel to charge two batteries. A gas engine pulley on the alternator will read fast. You might be able to still get your core back and pulley swapped if needed. There are several...

    Tahoe Duramax swap

    Yes, you need WAGONEER or TAHOE spelled out in giant letters and be close enough to read it to tell the difference between them now... The rear seat comfort has come a long way in the designs of the big three as more and more Boomers are driven around by their adult kids.

    Tahoe Duramax swap

    You can go buy a Brand New 2024 Diesel Tahoe TODAY with a warranty. The other two of what was known as the Big Three have dropped diesels like hot potatoes for good reason. Except 3/4+ ton pickups of course.

    Rotors & Brakes for Trucks

    As mentioned you need to lube the caliper pins often on a RAM. All 4! I did the rear pins on mine even though I was just doing the front pads. Some were dry already. Autozone's krap trashing a rotor when the pad came unbonded is here in the carnage thread. I pumped the brakes, because the...

    Please HELP....6.5 non turbo diesel 4L80E in a chevy p30 school bus will not shift into overdrive.

    Read the above post about the VSSB and quit chasing your tail for an ECM!

    Mystery Connector

    Cable won't solve that problem. Gears are not able to mesh until they move and align is what's hanging the motor or thermal actuator up. It will hang a cable as well.

    84 K-10

    96+ with the compressor on the driver side of the engine just like yours is now. I forget if the t stat housing needs to be changed and if you need the rare 1996 with a DB2 and cruise control. A detail you need to triple check before buying parts. The 88-95 serp belt drive have the POS R4...
